Hi folks!  I have 2 of these bikes and I'm trying to set both up for reliability.  While riding one quad, I noticed that the bike slips a little in 1st before it takes off.  The other has an instant response with no slip.  So I suspected the centrifugal clutch lining was worn.  Since I have a donor bike, I pulled the centrifugal clutch and swapped in the spare, which has an overall diameter 1 mm bigger ( a little less worn. ) I put everything back together and have almost no drive.  So....the question is, is there something I'm missing when installing the centrifugal clutch or is a new one required?  If a new one is required, has anyone tried a Caltric brand?...they are $100 less than a Suzuki factory clutch.  Thanks all!

UPDATE:  I'm going to try something.  Since the parts quad was sitting for a while, I think that maybe the retaining pins on the centrifugal clutch shoes may be a little stuck.  So...in the process of disassembly and inspection.  I'm going to polish and oil the pins so the shoes may move a little easier.  Thoughts???

      Will not go into 1st but if ya go past will go into maybe next gear. Will not shift into reverse. I have see others say that the shift cam assembly dowel worn or fall out. How do I get to this? Do I need to break case in half?
       
      thanks for your help

      Just aquired this Honda 4514. I had heard of them and seen them but had never really looked at one. Amazing machine from the 90s.
      It has a 14 HP inline 2 cylinder engine. A cute little fan like the old school cars had and a little radiator. It has a timing belt on the back of the engine running the cam and a water pump. Just like a miniature car engine with  electronic clutches to turn blades on and off. Pretty hight tech for the 90s not a small thing and built like a tank weighs in at 600 pds hydrostatic trans. I have found out that almost anything you have to do to it the engine has to come out starter timing belt water pump. Very expensive parts i think most got junked for that reason, i did find out they were built by John Deere except for the honda engine.
      Does anyone here have any expierience with these.

      i just bought a yamaha moto 4, i have sprayed 'start ya barstard' into the carb and on the spark plug and it doesnt even fire! although when i have the spark plug on the outside of the motor it shows spark, the engine also leaks oil from the starter,

      Hi quad is up and running now, starts fine, revs and ticks over fine but when riding its bogging a bit. If your sat with engine running its fine but when you set off your having to rev it very slowly to go otherwise it drops its revs. And i mean very slowly, try rev normally and revs just drop off then when your going its bogging slightly. I have tried adjusting air screw but doesn't seem to make a difference. Any ideas. Seems like an air problem but not sure.

      Hi, I have been around everything with a motor since I was little, and finally purchased more to get my husband, and kids involved. I have 4 quads I will be searching around for information on. I have two 2002 Suzuki LT80K quads, a 1997 Yamaha Timberwolf 250, and a 1996 Kawasaki Bayou 220. I have had different ones throughout the years, and plan on buying another Yamaha Banshee. I plan on trying to learn more about all of them, so I can customize some of them. I know nothing about them besides how to race them, my dad always took care of the rest, but figured it was time for me to learn.
